Cleveland and Grady.

New York Herald, Independent.l
1t is widely believed that Pres
ldent Cleveland will be renomi-
mated next year. Who is to hold
the second place on the ticketa
In snte-bellum days it was the
inyariable practice to take either
the President or the Vice Presi
dent from the South. That was
changed by the war.
But the war ended more than
twenty years ago. A new South
has sprung up-new not only in
dustrially. commercially and Sc
cially, but also politically. The
country has become reunited
once again. The causes that for
a time barred Southern statesmen
from national political prefer
ment have lost all the force they
ever had. Southern legislators,
Cabinet officers, foreign Minis
ters and judges have beer wisely
called into the national service
Is it not time that the second
highest post of honor in the gov
ernment be again opened 10 the
South ?
The Herald says Yes The
democratic party can now well
afford to name a Southerner for
the Vice Presidency, and it may
strengthen It's ticket by doing so.
What Southerper is most wide
ly and favorabIy known. North
as well as South? I? BY popular ac-
claim Henry W. Grady, of Allan
Ia. will at once be accorded thai
distinction. He has The conf
dence not only of The party, but
also of the entire country, and
his name as Vice President on
the ticket headed by Mr.. Cleye-
land would arouse Democratic
enthusiasm throughout the land.
The Herald proposes this ticket

Columbus Times.
The Treasury of Ohio will be
bankrupt before the rare days Of
June.
In three. weeks from present
indications, the States paper
will go to protest.
There is no guess work about
it-no necromancy in it. Sim
ply a question OF arithmetic and
time. o
Last May the receipts were
$S7,3S7.1O, and the disbursements
were $311.s94.SS. The deficit
then made Was covered by $3.50,
900 of the s5o9,OO0 loan nego-
tlated at that time.
On last Saturday night the
Slate Treasurer held to the cred
it of the General Revenue Fund
the sum Of 1925, S91 SIS.
Now if we suppose The dis
bursements for this May will be
at least as great as last May, the
estimate viii not be TO high. be-
cause The appropriation made by
the last legislative session were
particularly lavish, and the
chances are that The eXpenditur-
es of this month will he much
in excess Of these Of the same
montI, last year; supposing also
that the receipts will he much
greater than they were in May
of last year-say $4,000, the
General Revenue fund will be
sin n hole 10 the extent Of over
100000.
But in addition to This there
will be due on the first of June,
and to be paid them, 100000 OF
four per cent, and also s64,O00 OF
interest on the funded State debt.
In three weeks it is apparent,
the running expenditures will
exhaust the general revenue
fund. 1t might be possible to
draw from the counties TO GER
tain extent, but at this time the
country treasures are empty land
it is optional with the treasurers
whether they respond or not. 1t
is possible that enough can be
scraped up here and there to
meet the running expenses. But
how are the big debts of the first
of June to be met 2
The June taxes cannot be an-
ticipa:ed before June 10.

The appropriations made last

revenue by about $500,OG0. Ii
should have been apparent to
The Legislature that just such a
state of affairs as is now immi
nent would be sure to come. As
the year goes by the treasury will
be more and more cramped, un
less loan is made.
